That is why the brushes import from older versions Paintstorm (1.41 and below) is impossible. We apologize for this inconvenience. The new version of Paintstorm Studio is created to avoid such things in the future, because now you can save your favorite brushes in a separate file, as well as share your brushes collection with your friends.

- The number of points in the graphs is increased from 10 to 50

You will get the access to the new functions through the mouse right click. Right click works on the following panels: Brushes, Custom forms (single and "set of forms"), Textures, Brush previews, Category Icons, Gradients. (Note: When you create your own sets of brushes, you have to remember that the "erasers" - are the 2nd group and «mixer brushes» (which are used in the «mixer» panel) - are always the first three brushes in the third category) Also, now you can reset all brushes to the default settings at any time.

- The ability to import brushes (brush shapes) in ABR Photoshop format (Note! Abr-files should not contain hairy brushes, appeared in Photoshop CS5)

- The "Capture form" feature added for the brush. Just select any part of the picture and click "Capture form" at the top of the screen. (Or use Menu-> Selection-> Capture form)

- In the brushes display «tiles» mode you can now click the brush with ctrl or shift, to change the display of the brush from brush-icon to brush-shape and vice versa. The same applies to the brushes located in the custom panels.

- Scrolling the list (such as layers or brushes) now works like on your smartphone. Just click anywhere on the list and move the mouse or pen up or down. "Scroll bar" also works, and saved for those who are used to it, but it can be completely disabled in the Menu-> File-> Options-> Enable scroll bars

- The CPU usage reduced

- Some fundamental changes regarding the error handling: Now, in case of a critical error, Paintstorm will not just crash, like before, but also try to save all the open files. Some non-critical errors will be ignored when possible. All the information on the errors will be stored in %userprofile%/Documents/Paintstorm Studio/Logs/ You can send us your the error files. This will help us to detect the causes of the errors and make Paintstorm more stable and safe.

For MAC Version:

The data structure has undergone great changes. Now Paintstorm, as well as other applications, is installed with the .pkg file directly to «Applications». Brushes and interface settings are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Paintstorm Studio/

Accordingly, to move the Workspace to the new version the previous one, you have to do the following steps:

- The new "Real Double brush" feature added. Now you can paint with two brushes simultaneously instead of using the second brush only as a mask. You can also synchronize main parameters of both brushes.
